Coppo Camp du Rouss Barbera d'Asti 2013

Textbook Barbera aromas of crushed cherry and wild berry jam, with intense spice notes. Notes of leather and herbs, a hint of smoke. Bright and luscious with soft tannins. Fine, well-structured, and long-lasting. Pair with bruschetta, cured meats and cheeses, roast beef or a variety of grilled proteins with rich wine sauces.

Piero Coppo founded the Coppo winery in 1892 in the town of Canelli, located in Piedmont, Italy. Canelli is widely recognized as the undisputed capital of Moscato wines—Italy’s famous sweet sparkling wine (also known as Muscat). Although the region grew to fame as a result of Moscato, Asti is also rich in Barbera—a bold, native red grape. Barbera flourishes in the areas of Monferrato and Langa, and because of this unique terroir, the D.O.C Barbera d’Asti is now one of the finest wine classifications in all of Italy.
